The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

44 – Loyalty to you (6)

A wizard’s talent is rare.

This is because many wizards were sacrificed in the war against the Demon King’s army a long time ago, and the nature of the mana that exists on the continent has gradually changed since the last battle.

In the present, you must literally be a genius to be able to feel mana and use magic.

It could be said that only geniuses with naturally excellent mana sensitivity could become wizards.

In the past, it would have been possible to reach a certain level with effort, but the changed mana no longer allows magic to ordinary people.

Because of this, wizards are extremely rare on the continent, and if they are born with the qualities of a wizard, they will receive attention on the continent.

Just because they had magical talent, they were threatened or kidnapped, and sometimes they had to receive endless annoying attention.

Therefore, most wizards currently belong to the empire or are in hiding somewhere to practice their own magic.

The only magic tower remaining on the continent. The first magic tower belongs to the empire.

Therefore, most wizards either belonged to the empire or went into hiding.

Also, thanks to the existence of the only magic tower, the empire was able to strengthen its current strength.

It was one day a year after losing Ben that Yuna discovered her talent for magic.

“Wow, the princess’s guest… “Kyaaak!”

Yuna was in a deep state of pain.

Now it was a time when people were no longer lying around like corpses without eating anything, but instead, violence took the place of that time.

“It’s okay, so please leave. And if possible, it would be best not to approach them.”

“yes yes… !”

There was a customer who came to visit her.

He was a nobleman who didn’t seem that famous.

He dismissed the maid who guided him and closed Yuna’s door.

“Four princesses… You’re right. “It’s just as rumored.”

Hwiik-

Yuuna threw the vase next to him at him without hesitation.

He lightly dodged the vase and continued talking as he approached her step by step.

“I don’t know what made the princess so devastated, but I would like you to listen to my story for now. “Please give me a moment.”

Hwiik-

Yuna didn’t care and threw whatever objects she could get her hands on at him.

As he skillfully dodged the attack, Yuuna couldn’t stand it anymore and screamed.

I was planning to scream and call the knight and order him to cut off that annoying man’s head right away.

“What are you doing… what are you doing! Why not no one wow! ”

“No one will come. “The sound here is completely blocked.”

“aaa!!”

Peeing-

When things didn’t go as planned, Yuna started throwing everything she could get her hands on like a fit.

But now there was no sound of anything she threw breaking or hitting the ground.

The presence of the objects disappeared, as if the objects she had thrown disappeared into the air.

Yuna, who felt something strange, then looked at the man with venomous eyes between her tangled hair.

“Are you willing to listen now?”

He was smiling unpleasantly with narrowed eyes, not sure if he was laughing or not.

But what caught her eye even more than that was the sight of the objects she threw floating in the air.

“My name is Eric Ron Hartz.”

That was Yuna and Eric’s first meeting.

***

“… You are great. Honestly, your talent is so great that I’m jealous. “It probably won’t be long until you surpass me.”

Eric was once a noble of the Kingdom of Regius and was one of the nobles who sided with Ceramide.

Although Baron Harts was a noble family, it was a small noble family that did not appear in large social circles or engage in any activities in the center.

Eric was the head of the Hearts Baron family, and at the same time, he was also a wizard who hid his identity.

Although he followed the trend and betrayed Regius by siding with Ceramide, he was not particularly interested in politics.

Just a title that allowed him to make a decent living and the leisure to enjoy magic with peace of mind were enough.

Even when he belonged to Regius, he had no particular loyalty, and even when he betrayed Regius, he had no particular ill feelings.

All he had to do was hide his identity and live as a wizard.

He was once a magician belonging to the Empire’s Magic Tower. It is said that he left the Magic Tower for some reason.

And like any wizard, Regius was the place where he settled down, hiding his identity to avoid numerous dangers.

“I still can’t forget the mana I felt that day. “I would have regretted it if I hadn’t found the princess.”

The reason Eric visited Yuna that day was because he felt powerful and very coldly forged mana in the royal castle.

Eric says that Yuna has a special talent for magic.

It was said that his talent was so incredible that it could be said to be the most outstanding even in this era where magician’s talent has become rare.

One day, when Yuna lost Ben and went on a rampage, she unknowingly released mana, and Eric, who sensed the mana in the royal capital, traced back the traces and reached the royal castle.

Perhaps, if there had been another wizard or someone targeting wizards nearby at that moment, Yuna’s talent would have been revealed.

It was fortunate that Helia was not outstanding in terms of magic or magic engineering at the time.

This means that it was fortunate that Eric was the only one who sensed Yuna’s mana.

And from that day on, Yuna began learning magic from Eric without anyone knowing.

It was a tremendous talent. Eric felt that he could possibly surpass even the highest ranking wizards in the empire.

Of course, just because Yuna started learning magic did not erase her painful memories or her cruelty.

Yuna thoroughly hid her magic skills, but her actions became more cruel day by day.

This is because the pain did not disappear just because he had the talent of a wizard.

Magic was just something that made the hellish time go by a little faster.

It was a tremendous talent, but to Yuuna, magic was only that much.

“It’s a moon squirrel. “Maybe this girl follows along well because the princess’s mana resembles the night.”

Eric muttered as he looked at Yuna, who was petting Benny.

Maybe it was as he said. Perhaps the reason the moon squirrels followed Yuna so well was because her mana resembled the unique mana that moon squirrels like.

But that didn’t really matter either. Yuuna stroked Benny and soothed her memories of Ben.

“… “Princess.”

One day, Eric spoke to her in a more serious voice than usual.

In his view, Yuuna was living in such terrible memories that they became so cruel. And I don’t know exactly, but it seemed like it had something to do with Yuuna’s hatred of herself and Helia.

Although she had a reputation for being evil, to Eric she just seemed like a pitiful student.

Maybe that was why he said those words. Of course, it was also my own greed that was to blame.

“The throne… “What do you think of what you’re aiming for?”

From noble mtl dot com

Become a king. Eric said that to Yuna.

If so, it seemed like Yuna’s hatred of Helia could be resolved, and the future she envisioned could also be achieved.

“I will help the princess. “The princess’s magical talent is so frightening that it can turn a kingdom into a powerful nation in an instant.”

As the saying goes, Yuna’s talent for magic was terrifying.

If a wizard like her exists as the king of a kingdom, that alone poses a threat to those around her. Maybe even to the empire.

To that extent, Yuuna’s talent was the greatest talent of all time, and if she used that talent, becoming king was not impossible.

“Just by having a talent like the princess, Helia’s national power increases significantly. Then, it is not impossible to compete with the 1st Prince. Rather, it is a possibility. Let’s get ready now. I will help you. Instead, if you become the king of Helia, please build a magic tower. A magic tower where we can enjoy magic to our heart’s content.”

Please build a magic tower. That was Eric’s condition.

Eric wanted to create a magic tower where one could fall in love with magic itself without worrying about anything else.

I hoped that the magic tower would be built independently somewhere other than the empire.

“… I guess so.”

Yuna, who was quietly looking at the moonless sky, muttered that.

And Eric knelt in front of her. And swore allegiance.

“I will help you, princess. No, Queen of Helia.”

Yuna thought.

If you become king. If he becomes king and punishes Helya for taking Ben away from him, and changes him.

So, would that be atonement for Ben? If I punish this terrible Helia like that, will I be able to wash away this pain? Can Ben be comforted?

… It was unpredictable. Will this pain go away when I punish Helia? Will Ben be happy?

If I become the queen of Helia with this plan, which can be called revenge, will I be able to escape from that frozen time?

Yuna didn’t know. How this choice will change the future.

“… “Of course.”

But Yuna made a decision. I decided to do that.

If I don’t do that, I don’t think I can bear it anymore.

No matter how hard he tries to learn magic, drink alcohol, and erase his memories, Ben doesn’t disappear. The memories and pain of him.

I felt like this was the only way I could escape this horrible past. I felt like I could change the terrible reality.

Yuuna did that on that dark night. I decided to become a king.

However, I myself did not know exactly what that decision was for. Is it for atonement, revenge, or just to escape reality?

I just made that decision.

***

“Princess, what is that… ”

Transparent, cold, blue energy flowed from Yuna’s arms and throughout her body.

“no way… Magic… ?”

Although I’ve never seen it before, there was only one thing I could assume to be the identity of that energy.

Mana. And magic.

Yuna was using a type of magic that is so rare and difficult to find in this day and age.

“Soon the leader will emerge above the surface. The magic energy is getting closer to the ground. “Make sure you get ready.”

I wanted to ask what happened, but there was no time.

As Yuna said, the vortex that had sucked everything in had disappeared, and a huge tremor was getting closer and closer beneath my feet.

It meant that the leader was coming up. For now, we had to prepare for battle.

“Prepare your entire army for battle! The enemy is beneath the ground! “When we reveal ourselves, we will end it quickly!”

The leader of the Ceramide family quickly took command. It was a moment that showed skill.

I also quickly joined the ranks and prepared for battle.

How Yuna became a wizard, when did she realize her talent, and why did she hide it? There were so many other things I was curious about, but I held back for now.

Instead, he put more strength into his grip holding the sword.

I had just used too much strength to pull Yuna out of the whirlpool, but I still had enough strength left to swing my sword a few times.

“… come.”

The vibration has now reached all the way to my toes. The ground begins to distort, as if it is collapsing.

“All troops-”

It was under my feet.

The leader seemed to be coming up straight out of the ground at high speed, as if he was planning to jump out from under our feet and devour everyone.

I couldn’t tell its exact shape, but it looked like it had its mouth wide open, like a shark trying to devour its prey.

“Spread out!”

And when it got close enough to know where the leader was,

The leader quickly ordered a spread out and everyone moved away from the vibrations.

This was to avoid the attack of the boss that would pop up from the floor.

“Uh… ! “Princess-”

However, Yuna could not move as fast as the knights. It didn’t move.

She still stood still on the cracking ground.

Instead of evacuating the danger zone, I ran to save her.

But before my hand could even touch her, the feeling of the ground against my feet disappeared.

“Princess-!”

The ground collapsed and the leader rose from the ground.

Sand splashed in all directions, and it fell as if it had been sucked into the hole where the leader had risen.

Fortunately, I was able to avoid being eaten because the leader appeared right in front of my position, but Yuna was there.

“Princess!!!”

The leader was a monster that looked like a giant sandworm.

The leader who rose from the ground closed his mouth, dripping dirty saliva as if he were about to devour Yuuna.

It was a movement as if it was aimed precisely at Yuna.

Kkeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk—

“uh… ?”

The moment Yuna could not even accept the reality that she had been eaten, the leader made a strange sound, twisted his body, and began to sink into the ground again.

Sigh-

However, before the leader disappeared into the ground, one side of its skin was suddenly torn off as if a huge explosion had occurred.

The leader disappeared back into the ground as if running away, his body in tatters, with dirty blood spraying everywhere.

“Princess… ?”

And in the place where the leader disappeared, Yuna was standing in the same posture as before.

Without a single drop of blood.
